I’ve always been interested in the DIY closed-loop systems, but the fact it only integrates with older pumps has always been what has stopped me.

Me, too. I’m up for a new pump as well, and my province just recently started covering OmniPod for everyone with insulin-dependent diabetes, regardless of age (or diabetes type). This would make that option very, very tempting.

Some screenshots from iOS integration have already been posted on Gitter, and it looks promising. It is possible to activate a pod, give command on bolus, temp basal, control the beeping from the pod etc.
The only less good thing is that with current pods we still need a “modem”, the RileyLink, to enable the communication between the phone (bluetooth) and the pod (radio). But with the future bluetooth enabled Dash-pods, we may only need the phone and the pod, which would be the dream setup. Later on, maybe a smartwatch will be enough (subject to software and battery limitations).

Very slow, unfortunately. Latest news is that the pod battery cannot handle the 5-min communications from Loop during 3 days, which leads to the “scream of death” on during day three, caused by lo-batt. Still no official release date/news.
I’m running on my Medtronic supply-stock with a 6 months of pods that I can’t use yet.

It should work, technically it should reduce the Loop caused battery consumption by 50%, but then again I don’t know what changes in the algorithm that would cause because everything today is built around the 5 min CGM readings.

As diabetics, we can say that, in combination with a 15 min lag in sensor responsiveness, that’s making data not readable for around 30 min. Maybe that interval of time is so large that it really limits the predictive capabilities of the system. If you drop 100 points in a hour, it might only get a couple of data points and maybe that’s not enough to make a really safe calculation of how to adjust insulin in any practical way. Its slow.

Hate to add additional hardware, but I always wanted to just add a microphone to the POD that could report the delivery. (the pod clicks every time it delivers That click is, I think, 1/2 a unit).
